Extensive membrane lipid remodeling at the host-parasite interface of Toxoplasma gondii

Yuri Nakashima, Sachiko Ishida, Nanaru Mineoka, Sayuri Kuriyama, Miho Yoshida, Tatsunori Masatani, Masahito Asada, Hakimi Hassan, Yoshifumi Nishikawa, AKIKAZU FUJITA

This study identifies the transbilayer distribution of phosphoinositides in Toxoplasma gondii, revealing symmetric localization in the parasitophorous vacuole membrane, contrasting with asymmetric distribution in the parasite plasma membrane.

Parasitophorous vacuole membranes of Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum lack the lipid asymmetry characteristic of host cell plasma membranes

Rikako Konishi, Yuri Nakashima, Tatsunori Masatani, Masahito Asada, Hakimi Hassan, Kayoko Fukuda, Sayuri Kuriyama, Yoshifumi Nishikawa, Osamu Kaneko, Vern B. Carruthers, Akikazu Fujita

The paper analyzes lipid asymmetry in parasitophorous vacuole membranes of Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum, finding symmetric distribution of key lipids unlike host cell membranes.

Regulation of macroautophagy and microautophagic lipophagy by phosphatidylserine synthase Cho1 and external ethanolamine

Nanaru Mineoka, Rikako Konishi, Yuri Nakashima, Moe Muramoto, Kayoko Fukuda, Sayuri Kuriyama, Tatsunori Masatani, Akikazu Fujita

This study investigates the role of Cho1-encoded phosphatidylserine synthase in autophagy, showing its essential role in macroautophagy and its interaction with the ubiquitination system in microautophagic lipophagy.
